First Tentacle | Backdated to This Morning

[Daniel remembers hunkering in his bunk, listening to explosions and feeling them rock the ship around him. He remembers closing his eyes and praying to every higher power he knew of to keep him and his crewmates safe. He remembers nearly choking on his own ink. He remembers hearing indistinct screaming and sobbing. He remembers a sudden impact.

[Finally, and offer of proper help! Daniel takes a deeeeeep, shuddering breath and clutches the receiver a little closer.]

P-please do. I don't understand w-what's happening at all!

[techno_mancer]

Okay, well, everyone in this town is in the same boat you are. But I'm afraid none of it's good. You're in a place called Mayfield, and just like all of us here've been kidnapped.

[cuttlefidget]

K-kidnapped? But how did they even g-get me off of my boat and into this boat, I mean, we were c-crashing and... just... how?

[techno_mancer]

No one knows, bro. We all just kinda show up, and no one can leave. It sucks, but that's the way it is. They stick ya with a family too, and a job, and expect ya to play along in the little game.

Uh, don't ask who "they" are cuz we're not totally sure yet.
